Notes About The Poem

Parody on Herman's Hermits "Mrs.Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" 1965

Mr Down You Ve Got a Vicious Daughter

Mr. Down, you’ve got a vicious daughter.
Girls this mean lay my emotions bare.
I am so glad she doesn’t like me now.
She is clever enough, but me she doesn’t mind.

She’s a snot and acts haughty, your daughter.
Please tell her I barely know her name.
Here’s the game, I think she’s a big cow.
She is clever enough, but me she doesn’t mind.

Running around
She has a stench, a smell
Her voice as shout
It is ugly mean and loud

If she finds that I’ve been round to see you (round to see you)
Tell her that to her I pay no mind (pay no mind, ooh).
Don’t let on, never let her think she’s smart.
I would run away, but to me she does not mind.

Mr. Down, you’ve got a vicious daughter (vicious daughter)
Mr. Down, you’ve got a vicious daughter (vicious daughter)
Mr. Down, you’ve got a vicious daughter (vicious daughter)
Mr. Down, you’ve got a vicious daughter (vicious daughter)

Pretty Good, Caren! ~ I'm Henry the 8th, I am (and you're Queen Victoria too) lol.

Good one. The last time I saw Herman's Hermits, there was only one of them left. I loved their songs!
